Household Fire Safety Audit
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend
that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a fire escape
plan be developed.
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition?
Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you
are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or
household service, have a professional evaluate these units.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a
well ventilated cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should
be avoided.
3. Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of
children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed,
clean and in good working order? Have a professional evaluate
these appliances.
Fire Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the
time it becomes deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape
plan be developed and rehearsed.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape
plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the
house. Since many fires occur at night, special attention should be
given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.
3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the
interior door.
Consider the following when making your escape plans:
• Make sure that all perimeter doors and windows are easily
opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut, and that their
locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly
or handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This
includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue
can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or
rope should be provided as well as training in its use.
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove
snow from exterior patio doors in winter; outdoor furniture or
equipment should not block exits.
• Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point
where everyone can be accounted for i.e.: across the street or at
a neighbour's house. Once everyone is out of the building, call the
fire department.
• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or
attempt to fight the fire, and do not gather belongings or pets as
this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the
house. Wait for the fire department.
• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that
should an emergency arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise
the plan as conditions change, such as the number of people in
the home, or if there are changes to the building's construction.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting
weekly tests. If you are unsure about system operation, contact
your installing dealer.
• We recommend that you contact your local fire department and
request further information on fire safety and escape planning. If
available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-
house fire safety inspection.

Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants
of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may
have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the
smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on
another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning.
Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors
may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards
such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches
or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances
when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to
avoid injury or death.
Warning: Digital Security Controls Ltd. recommends that the entire system be
completely tested on a regular basis. However, despite frequent testing, and due
to, but not limited to, criminal tampering or electrical disruption, it is possible for
this product to fail to perform as expected.

Digital Security Controls Ltd. could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
